Report  on  Commercial  Fertilizers,  1922 

By  E.  H.  Jenkins,  Director,  and  E.  M.  Bailey, 
Chemist  in  Charge  of  the  Analytical  Laboratory. 

We  desire  here  to  emphasize  certain  points  regarding  the  law 
and  the  gratuitous  analysis  of  fertilizers,  which  do  not  seem  to  be 
fully  understood  by  those  concerned.  Complete  understanding  of 
these  points  will  greatly  increase  the  effectiveness  of  our  work 
and  its  value,  both  to  sellers  and  users  of  fertilizers. 

What  is  required  of  all  who  sell  commercial  fertilizers  in  this  state? 

The  seller  is  responsible  for  the  proper  labeling  of  each  pack- 
age, as  provided  in  Section  1  of  the  law,  for  the  registration  at  the 
Station  of  every  brand  sold  by  him  and  for  the  payment  of  the 
analysis  fee,  before  offering  for  sale,  and  annually  thereafter  on 
January  1st. 

The  seller  must  also,  on  the  1st  of  January  and  July,  report 
the  tonnage  of  fertilizer  sold  within  the  preceding  six  months  and 
pay  to  the  director  of  the  Station  a  tonnage  fee  of  6  cents  per  ton. 

On  request,  copies  of  the  law  and  blanks  for  registration  and 
for  tonnage  reports  will  be  supplied  by  the  Station. 

If,  however,  proper  labeling,  registration  and  payments  have 
been  provided  for  by  the  manufacturer  of  the  brands  or  by 
another  responsible  person,  all  sellers  of  such  brands  are  released 
froin  the  above  mentioned  requirements.  The  retailer,  therefore, 
should  assure  himself  that  the  requirements  of  the  law  have'  been 
met  by  the  manufacturers  of  the  brands  which  he  handles,  or  him- 
self be  prepared  to  w,eet  all  these  requirements. 

What  is  required  of  persons  drawing  samples  for  analysis? 

The  Station  every  year  analyzes  a  large  number  of  samples  sent 
by  individuals,  representing  fertilizers  bought  by  them  for  their 
own  use.  The  object  of  the  sender  is  to  learn  whether  the  ferti- 
lizer contains  all  that  is  guaranteed,  and,  if  it  does  not,  to  provide 
evidence  for  a  claim  against  the  seller.  It  is  absolutely  necessary 
that  the  sample  should  be  taken  essentially  in  the  "way  prescribed 
b\  the  law  and  in  the  presence  of  a  witness.  If  this  is  not  done, 
it  will  be  difficult  to  prov?  the  fairness  of  the  sample,  the  Station 
will  have  been  put  to  useless  expense  and  the  analysis  of  the 
sample  will  not  be  of  any  value  to  the  sender.  Therefore,  the 
Station  will  supply  to  any  applicant  a  form  which  describes 
the  method  of  sampling  and  on  which  the  sample  should  be  fully 
described.  This  description  should  be  sent  to  the  Station  with 
(not  in)  the  sample.    It  thus  makes  the  analysis  of  public  interest 


56  CONNECTICUT  EXPERIMENT  STATION  BULLETIN  24I. 

and  value,  which  is  the  only  justification  for  doing  the  work  at 
state  expense,  and  it  is  the  only  way  by  which  it  is  possible  for  the 
sender  to  learn  the  true  composition  of  the  stock  sampled  and  to 
prove  its  composition  if  a  claim  for  rebate  is  made. 

The  Station  desires  to  know  the  retail  cash  ton  price  of  each  fer- 
tilizer, but,  if  requested,  will  not  publish  the  information. 


In  1922,  60  individuals  and  firms  registered  for  sale  in  this 
state  482  brands  of  commercial  fertilizers,  classified  as  follows : 

Mixed  fertilizers    303 

Cotton  seed  meal  and  castor  pomace    , 23 

Other  chemicals  and  unmixed  materials 146 

Total    482 

The  number  of  firms  is  less  by  i6  and  the  number  of  brands 
less  by  62  than  last  year. 

The  brands  which  have  been  registered  at  this  Station  for  the 
year  1922  are  here  listed  as  required  by  Statute.

tion is  fairly  uniform. 

Cost:  The  cost  of  nitrogen  in  sulphate  of  ammonia  has  ranged 
from  14.3  to  16.8  cents  per  pound,  an  average  of  15.6  cents.  During 
the  present  season,  this  has  been  the  cheapest  source  of  available 
nitrogen  in  our  market.

Composition  and  Cost. 
Only  three  grades  of  cotton  seed  meal  have  been  sold  to  any 
considerable  extent  as  fertilizers.     Their  guaranties  are  as  fol- 
lows : 

5.76  per  cent  Nitrogen  equivalent  to  7.0%  ammonia  and  36%  protein. 
6.56  per  cent  Nitrogen  equivalent  to  8.0%  ammonia  and  41%  protein. 
6.88  per  cent  Nitrogen  equivalent  to  8.3%  ammonia  and  43%  protein. 

Of  the  first  or  lowest  grade,  ig  samples  (3  below  guaranty)  had  an 
average  content  of  5.83  per  cent  nitrogen,  the  cost  of  which  averaged 
44.5  cents  per  pound,  chiefly  in  car  lots. 

Of  the  medium  grade,  107  samples  (18  below  guaranty)  guaranteed 
6.56  per  cent  of  nitrogen,  had  an  average  of  6.66  per  cent  nitrogen,  the 
cost  of  which  averaged  37.3  cents  per  pound,  chiefly  in  car  lots. 

Of  the  highest  grade  meal,  30  samples  (4  below  guaranty)  guaran- 
teed 6.88  per  cent  nitrogen,  averaged  6.95  per  cent  of  nitrogen,  the 
cost  of  which  averaged  37.3  cents  per  pound. 

During  this  season  the  medium  and  highest  grades  have  been  the 
better  purchase,  their  nitrogen  costing  7  cents  per  pound  less  than 
the  lower  grade.

Guaranties. 
Of  the  61  samples  examined,  50  had  a  guaranty  of  4.50  per 
cent  nitrogen,  and  most  of  them  far  exceeded  their  guaranty,  the 
average  nitrogen  in  them  being  5.30  per  cent.  Nine  had  a  guar- 
anty of  5  per  cent  nitrogen;  their  average  content  was  5.25  per 
cent,  and  one  fell  below  the  guaranty.  Two  were  guaranteed 
5.75  or  higher,  and  one  of  these,  No.  19454,  stated  to  be  sold 
by  the  Eastern  States  Exchange,  was  below  guaranty  by  1.32  per 
cent,  while  the  price  quoted  was  far  above  the  average  price. 

Cost. 

The  average  cost  per  ton,  chiefly  in  car  lots,  has  been  about  $31.46, 
and  the  average  cost  of  nitrogen  per  pound  29.9  cents  per  pound.

84  CONNECTICUT  EXPERIMENT  STATION  BULLETIN  24I. 

The  complete  analysis  of  one  sample,  No.  18913,  shows  the 
average  percentage  composition  of  this  material : 

Lime 33.24 

Magnesia   ...'.................; 0.32 

Phosphoric  acid    40.15 

Sulphuric  acid l.ig 

Chlorine     0.70 

Water  (free  and  combined)    24.40 

100.00 

This  consists  largely  of  the  dicalcic  phosphate  not  readily  solu- 
b].e  in  water,  but  very  easily  soluble  in  ammonium  citrate  as  used; 
for  determining  "reverted"  phosphoric  acid. 

All  of  the  samples  examined  have  been  of  good  quality,  and  the 
average  cost  of  available  phosphoric  acid  has  been  about  8.5  cents 
per  pound. 


DISSOLVED  ROCK  PHOSPHATE  OR  ACID  PHOSPHATE. 
Thirty-three  analyses  are  given  in  Table  VII. 

Guaranties  of  Available  Phosphoric  Acid. 

With  one  exception,  all  of  the  samples  had  a  guaranty  of  16 
per  cent  available. 

Only  three  of  the  number  failed  to  meet  their  guaranty. 

No.  19334,  sold  by  the  Coe-Mortimer  Co.,  was  deficient  by 
1.02  per  cent.  No.  19530,  sold  by  the  Levering  Fertilizer  Co., 
by  0.48  per  cent.  No.  19699,  sold  by  the  American  Agricultural 
Chemical  Co.,  by  0.28  per  cent. 

Composition  and  Cost. 

The  average  content  of  phosphoric  acid  was  17.3  per  cent,  of 
which  16.6  per  cent  was  available. 

Cost.  The  reported  costs  show  wide  differences,  ranging  from 
$38.25  to  $18.00.  Early  in  the  year  the  wholesale  prices  fell  consider- 
ably and  "forced  sales"  and  "resales"  resulted  in  much  lower  prices 
than  had  previously  prevailed. 

The  average  cost  of  available  phosphoric  acid  in  all  the  samples 
was  about  6.9  cents  per  pound,  but  leaving  out  the  three  highest 
prices,  the  average  price  per  ton  was  $21.59,  which  would  make  the 
cost  of  available  phosphoric  acid  about  6.5  cents. 


ACID    PHOSPHATE.

POTASH  SALTS.  8/ 

III.     RAW  MATERIALS  CONTAINING  POTASH  AS 
THE  CHIEF  ACTIVE  INGREDIENT. 

Here  are  given  analyses  of  56  samples.  Forty-nine  of  them 
are  in  Table  VIII. 

CARBONATE   OF   POTASH. 

Two  or  three  of  the  samples  are  of  rather  lower  grade  than 
the  others. 

The  potash  in  the  two  samples  whose  prices  are  quoted  cost  8  cents 
per  pound. 

MURIATE  OF   POTASH. 

Guaranties. 

All  of  the  16  samples  contain  as  much  or  more  potash  than  is 
guaranteed,  except  one,  No.  19744,  which  has  0.6  per  cent  less. 

Cost. 

The  average  content  of  potash  has  been  50.80  per  cent.  The  prices 
have  ranged  all  the  way  from  $60.50  to  $45.00.  The  average  of  those 
here  given  is  $51.60,  which  would  make  the  cost  of  potash  about  5.1 
cents  per  pound. 

HIGH-GRADE  SULPHATE  OF  POTASH. 

Seventeen  samples  have  been  analyzed,  seven  of  which  were 
drawn  by  the  Station  agent. 

Four  of  these  do  not  meet  their  guaranties. 

No.  19411  contained  some  phosphates  and  a  large  amount  of 
matter  insoluble  in  water.  The  seller  took  steps  to  pay  a  rebate 
of  $1.24  per  unit  of  potash. 

The  average  per  cent  of  potash  in  these  samples  is  48.69  and  the 
average  cost  per  pound  of  potash  is  5.7  cents,  ranging  from  7.9  to 
4.9  cents. 

DOUBLE  SULPHATE  OF  POTASH  AND  MAGNESIA,  SOME- 
TIMES CALLED  "DOUBLE  MANURE  SALTS." 

Five  samples  have  been  analyzed,  two  of  them  carrying  less 
than  the  guaranteed  potash.  The  analyses  appear  in  the  table, 
but  more  complete  analyses  of  some  of  them  are  as  follows :

MANURE  SALTS. 


This  is  a  material  very  different  from  the  double  sulphate  of 
potash  and  magnesia  or  "double  manure  salts"  mentioned  above. 
Seven  analyses  were  made,  as  follows:  18659,  stock  of  Apothe- 
caries Hall  Co.,  Waterbury.  Samples  19280  to  19284  repre- 
sent five  different  car  lots  sent  by  J.  E.  Shepard,  South  Windsor, 
and  bought  through  the  L.  T.  Frisbie  Co.,  New  Haven.  19697 
sampled  and  sent  by  E.  N.  Austin,  Suffield. 

The  analyses  are  as  follows : 

Analyses  of  Crude  Potash  Salts. 

18659  19280    19281    19282    19283  19284     19697 

Potash     20.34  25.44     24.13     27.99     26.60     26.10     22.20 

Lime    3.16      

Magnesia    0.46      1.93 

Chlorine    48.83  47.58     49.60     48.84     48.24     49.70     37. 14 

Sulphuric  acid    1.86 

Insoluble  in  acid   2.08      


d  the  cost  $25  per  ton. 


The  average  per  cent  of  potash  is  24.70,  ani 
making  the  cost  of  potash  5.1  cents  per  pound, 

It  will  be  seen  that  in  the  double  sulphate  of  potash  and  mag- 
nesia the  potash  is  nearly  all  in  form  of  sulphate,  the  amount  of 
magnesia  is  considerable  and  that  of  chlorine  is  small. 

But  in  the  "Potash  Salts"  almost  all  the  potash  is  in  form  of 
muriate.  The  amount  of  magnesia  is  small  and  that  of  chlorine 
very  large. 

This  salt  is  quite  unfit  for  a  tobacco  fertilizer,  though  the  quan- 
tity of  potash  is  not  much  smaller  than  in  the  double  sulphate, 
which  is  an  excellent  source  of  potash  for  tobacco.

FISH    MANURES.  93 

IV.     MATERIALS    CONTAINING   NITROGEN   AND 
PHOSPHORIC  ACID. 

FISH   MANURES. 

Twenty-six  analyses  are  given  in  Table  IX.  All  of  the  sam- 
ples but  one  meet  their  guaranties.  The  average  per  cent  of  nitro- 
gen in  them  was  8.74,  the  phosphoric  acid  7.23,  and  average  cost 

$54-99- 

Allowing  8  cents  per  pound  for  available  phosphoric  acid,  nitrogen 
has  cost  about  24.8  cents  per  pound  in  fish  manures. 

It  will  be  noticed  that  "herring  meal"  contains  half  as  much 
phosphoric  acid  and  somewhat  less  nitrogen  than  "fish  scrap," 
which  is  made  from  menhaden  or  white  fish.

SLAUGHTER  HOUSE  TANKAGE. 

Of  the  13  samples  analyzed  three  did  not  meet  their  guaranty. 
Two,  19515  and  19659,  were  from  the  Armour  Fertilizer 
Works,  New  York,  and  one,  18798,  from  the  Consolidated  Ren- 
dering Co.,  Boston. 

As  will  be  seen  from  Table  X,  tankage,  as  well  as  bone,  ranges 
widely  in  composition,  depending  on  the  relative  amount  of  bone, 
meat,  etc.,  which  goes  into  it. 

Here  the  nitrogen  in  these  samples  ranges  from  8.36  to  4.00 
and  the  phosphoric  acid  from  21.26  to  5.85.  The  agricultural 
value  of  tankage  depends  on  its  fineness  as  well  as  on  its  compo- 
sition. 

When  only  a  quarter  or  a  third  of  the  weight  of  the  tankage  is 
finer  than  one  fiftieth  inch  it  will  not  be  nearly  as  quick  in  its 
action  in  the  soil  as  tankage,  two-thirds  of  which  is  finer  than  one- 
fiftieth  inch. 


BONE    MANURES.  99 


BONE  MANURES. 

In  Table  XI  are  analyses  of  33  brands.  The  nitrogen  in  the 
various  samples  ranges  from  5.13  to  1.68;  phosphoric  acid  from 
30.47  to  18.80. 

Seventy-eight  per  cent  of  fine  material  is  found  in  one  sam- 
ple, in  another  only  37  per  cent. 

Sample  18605  is  a  factory  waste  not  on  the  market. 

Thirteen  samples  have  a  guaranty  of  2.47  per  cent  nitrogen, 
but  the  percentage  in  them  range  from  3.76  to  1.68. 

Ten  others  have  a  guaranty  of  3.29  per  cent,  but  the  samples 
range  from  4.73  to  3.31  per  cent.  An  average  of  such  figures  is 
of  very  limited  value.  The  average  figures  of  the  23  samples

A  REVIEW  OF  THE  ANALYSES  OF  RAW  MATERIALS 

used  as  fertilizers  indicates  the  following  facts : 

The  average  cost  of  plant  food  in  raw  materials  has  been  lower 
this  year  than  last,  with  the  exception  of  nitrogen  in  cotton  seed 
meal. 

The  average  figures  calculated  from  the  analyses  made  here 
are : 

Cents  per  pound. 

Cost  of  nitrogen  in  sulphate  of  ammonia   15.6 

Cost  of  nitrogen  in  nitrate  of  soda 19.7 

Cost  of  nitrogen  in  cotton  seed  meal  36%  protein  ....  44.6!

Insoluble  phosphoric  acid  in  phosphate  rock 3.2

Potash  in  form  of  muriate  5.1 

Potash  in  form  of  crude  salts   5-i 

t  Mostly  in  car  lots.     If  allowance  is  made  for  the  phosphoric  acid  and  potash  the 
price  will  be   reduced  by   four   or  five  cents. 

*  Allowing  Sc.   per  lb.   for  available  phosphoric  acid. 


COSTS   OF  RAW    MATERIALS.  IO3 

These  figures  show  that  sulphate  of  ammonia  and  nitrate  of 
soda  have  been  the  cheapest  forms  of  available  nitrogen ;  that 
cotton  seed  with  41  per  cent  protein  has  been  a  much  cheaper 
source  of  nitrogen  than  the  36  per  cent  meal. 

The  reason  is  plain.  A  thirty-ton  car  lot  of  36  per  cent  meal 
carries  the  same  freight  charge  as  a  car  of  41  per  cent  meal,  but 
carries  500  pounds  less  of  nitrogen. 

The  market  for  fertilizer  chemicals  has  been  very  fluctuating 
during  the  fertilizer  season,  and  extravagantly  high  and  unusually 
low  prices  have  been  paid  in  individual  instances,  but  the  average 
prices  of  fertilizer  chemicals  have  been  considerably  lower  than 
in  1921. 

A  following  table  gives  complete  average  analyses  of  the  com- 
monly used  raw  fertilizer  materials  which  have  been  referred  to 
on  previous  pages.  Our  routine  analyses  usually  show  only  the 
three  most  important  elements,  nitrogen,  phosphoric  acid  and  pot- 
ash, but  we  are  frequently  asked  what  makes  up  the  rest  of  the 
material.  For  example,  cotton  seed  meal  contains  6.8  per  cent 
of  nitrogen,  and  usually  that  is  all  that  the  sender  desires  to  know. 
But  a  complete  analysis  shows  that  it  contains,  as  an  average : 

Per  cent. 

Water  and  very  small  amounts  of  undetermined  matter  10.5 

Vegetable  matter,  exclusive  of  nitrogen   76.9 

Nitrogen    6.8 

Phosphoric  acid  . 2.9 

Potash    1.9 

Lime    0.3 

Magnesia   0.7

NITROGENOUS   SUPERPHOSPHATES  WITHOUT  POTASH. 

In  Table  XIII  are  given  the  analyses  of  12  samples  which  con- 
tain  no  potash. 

Sample  19377  shows  1.72  per  cent  of  nitrogen  as  ammonia. 
We  are  advised  by  the  manufacturer  that  ammonia  salts  are  not 
used  in  this  brand.  While  the  analysis  corresponds  well  with 
the  guaranty,  it  appears  likely  that  there  has  been  a  mistake  in 
the  brand  name.    It  has  not  been  possible  to  get  another  sample. 

Two  brands  failed  to  meet  their  guaranty :  Royster's  Land- 
mark, 19433,  and  Sanderson's  Tobacco  Grower,  19437.

NITROGENOUS    SUPERPHOSPHATES    CONTAINING 
POTASH. 

In  Table  XIV  are  analyses  of  279  samples  drawn  by  the  Sta- 
tion agent  and  4  samples  drawn  by  other  individuals. 


Guaranties. 

Of  the  samples  examined  97,  or  about  34  per  cent,  did  not  meet 
their  guaranties  in  all  respects.  Forty-four  were  deficient  in  pot- 
ash, 40  in  nitrogen.  Seventy  nine  were  lacking  in  one  ingredient, 
16  in  two,  and  two  samples  in  all  three  ingredients. 

In  all  but  twenty  cases,  however,  the  deficiency  in  one  ingre- 
dient was  fully  made  up  in  money  value  by  an  overrun  in  the 
other  two. 

The  following  did  not  make  up  the  deficiency,  if  nitrogen  is 
reckoned  at  40  cents,  available  phosphoric  acid  at  8  cents  and  pot- 
ash at  5)^  cents  per  pound.

Composition. 

Of  the  283  samples  analyzed : 

17  have  a  guaranty  of  0.82  per  cent  nitrogen 

54  have  a  guaranty  of  1.65  per  cent  nitrogen 

54  have  a  guaranty  of  2.47  per  cent  nitrogen 

']2)  have  a  guaranty  of  3.29  per  cent  nitrogen

283 

There  has  been  an  increase  in  the  percentage  of  high  nitrogen 
brands  this  year,  as  the  following  statement  shows  : 

1921.  1922. 

Guaranty  of     .82  nitrogen  lo.o  6.0 

Guaranty  of  1.65  nitrogen  20.4  19. i 

Guaranty  of  2.47  nitrogen  23.2  19.1 

Guaranty  of  3.29  nitrogen  ...  20.4  25.9

Guaranty  of  4.94  nitrogen  4.6  6.9 

1 00.0  1 00.0 

As  will  be  noted  in  the  following  paragraphs,  nitrogen,  the 
most  expensive  element  in  fertilizers,  costs  very  much  more  in  the 
lower  than  in  the  hisfher  nitrogen  brands. 


Cost  of  Nitrogen. 

As  nitrogen  costs  four  or  five  times  as  much  per  pound  as 
either  phosphoric  acid  or  potash,  its  cost  in  the  different  grades 
of  mixed  goods  is  of  special  importance. 

In  the  following  statement  are  given  the  guaranteed  composi- 
tion of  the  brands  sold  in  the  state,  their  number,  average  cost  per 
ton  as  quoted  by  the  dealers  and  the  average  cost  of  nitrogen  per 
pound  in  the  different  brands.  Available  phosphoric  acid  is  valued 
at  8  cents  per  pound  and  potash  at  5^  cents.  The  sum  of  these 
values  is  subtracted  from  the  cost  price.  This  remainder,  divided 
by  the  number  of  pounds  of  nitrogen,  gives  the  cost  per  pound  of 
nitrogen. 

For  example,  the  formula  .82-8-2  carries  in  one  ton  16.4 
pounds  of  nitrogen,  160  of  available  phosphoric  acid  and  40  of 
potash.    The  calculation  is  : 

160  lbs.  phosphoric  acid  at  8c $12.80 

40  lb.  potash  at  5^c 2.20 

Valuation   of  both    $15.00 


I'lO  CONNECTICUT  EXPERIMENT  STATION  BULLETIN  24I. 

The  average  cost  of  this  fertihzer  per  ton  is  $36.19. 
36.19 — 15.00— $21. ig,  which  is  what  the  16.4  lbs  of  nitrogen  cost.

To  the  last  column  of  this  statement  special  attention  is  invited. 
In  the  lowest  grade — and  lowest  priced — goods  the  nitrogen 
costs  two  to  three  times  as  much  per  pound  as  in  higher  grade — 
and  higher  priced — brands. 

Manufacturers  are  endeavoring  to  drop  the  sale  of  the  lowest 
grades,  and  buyers  waste  their  money  when  they  buy  them. 


ANALYSES    REQUIRING   SPECIAL   NOTICE. 

Bradley's  Complete  Potato  and  Vegetable,  19073,  was  below 
guaranty  in  nitrogen.  A  second  sample,  19646,  met  the  nitro- 
gen guaranty  but  was  below  in  potash. 

Packer's  Union  Potato  Manure  was  below  guarantee  in  pot- 
ash.    A  second  sample,  19688,  met  its  guaranty. 

National  XXX  Fish  and  Potash,  18918,  was  below  its  avail- 
able phosphoric  acid  guaranty,  but  a  second  sample,  19184, 
fully  met  the  guaranty. 

Apothecaries  Hall  Co.'s  Liberty  Top  Dressing,  18910,  was 
slightly  below  guaranty  of  nitrogen.  A  second  sample,  19054, 
fully  met  the  guaranty. 

Armour's  Big  Crop,  4-8-7,  18903,  was  below  guaranty  in 
potash.     A  second  sample,  19183,  fully  met  this  guaranty. 

19358,    Mitchell's   5-8-7.      Below  guaranty  in  all  particulars. 

Mr.  Mitchell  states  that  only  a  little  more  than  one  carload  was 
sold  in  the  state.  The  parties  who  made  this  brand  for  him  have 
given  him  a  rebate  as  agreed  in  their  contract,  which  has  been 
paid  to  buyers. 

Royster's  Quality  Trucker,  19124,  was  below  guaranty  in 
potash.     A  second  sample,   19642,   showed  similar  deficiency. 


NITROGENOUS  SUPERPHOSPHATES. 


Ill 


AVAILABILITY   OF  THE   ORGANIC   NITROGEN. 

Nine  samples  showed  that  less  than  50  per  cent  of  their  in- 
soluble organic  nitrogen  was  soluble  by  the  alkaline  permangan- 
ate test  and  less  than  80  per  cent  by  the  neutral  permanganate 
test. 

These  two  tests  confirm  the  presence  of  inferior  forms  of 
nitrogen.  In  one  case  the  percentage  of  insolubility  is  so  near 
the  limits  named  that  the  difference  may  be  disregarded. 

In  six  cases  the  excess  of  total  nitrogen  over  guaranty  is  enough 
to  compensate  for  the  inactive  nitrogen. 

Mapes  Corn  Manure,  19157,  and  Virginia-CaroHna  Cham- 
pion Brand,  1892  0,  were  somewhat  below  guaranty  in  nitro- 
gen, and  in  these  two  brands  there  was  no  such  compensation  as 
in  the  other  six  cases. 


PoTAsti  Determinations. 

In  a  considerable  number  of  cases  the  manufacturer  repeated 
this  Station's  determination  of  potash,  on  the  samples  which  the 
Station  had  analyzed  and  had  forwarded  to  them.  They  were  the 
following :

AVhile  most  of  the  differences  are  inconsiderable,  it  is  sufficient 
to  bring  the  percentage  of  potash  in  some  of  them  in  agreement 
with  the  guarantee  if  the  higher  figure  is  taken,  while  the  lower 
figure  does  not  meet  the  guarantee.

HOME  MIXTURES  AND  SPECIAL  MIXTURES. 

The  53  samples  whose  analyses  are  given  in  Table  XVI  repre- 
sent mixtures  made  by  corporations  or  individuals  for  their  own 
use  from  chemicals  bought  by  them  for  the  purpose.  There  are 
also  included  analyses  of  special  mixtures,  made  by  fertilizer 
manufacturers  according  to  the  formula  ordered  by  the  customer. 

The  formulas  used  in  mixing  were  given  in  17  cases,  and  appear 
in  Table  XV. 

The  actual  cost  of  the  materials  used  was  given  in  only  six 
cases,  and  is  included  in  the  table.

AND  WASTE  PRODUCTS. 

WOOD  ASHES. 

The  following  samples  were  submitted  by  Hatheway  &  Steane, 
Hartford;  purchased   from  John  Joynt,  Lucknow,   Canada: 

18501,  car  No.  117922;  18502,  car  No.  534106;  19215,  car 
No.  247466;  19216,  car  No.  213388;  19227,  car  No.  206079; 
19635,  car  No.  90928. 

Other  samples  were : 

19234.     Sent  by  A.  N.  Farnham,  Westville. 

19589.  Sent  by  H.  V.  Worth,  East  Berlin.  This  is  the  ashes 
from  a  brick  kiln.  As  our  previous  analyses  of  this  material  have 
shown,  this  is  of  very  small  value  as  a  commercial  fertilizer. 
Where  it  can  be  used  with  only  a  short  haul  and  in  large  amount, 
it  has  given  excellent  results  on  grass  growing  on  a  light,  sandy 
soil. 

19421.     Sent  by  S.  R.  McDonald,  Wallingford.     Bought  of 
George  Stevens,  Peterborough,  Canada. 
The  ashes  had  evidently  been  wet. 


Cost  per  ton   $36.08    $37.12 

SHEEP  MANURE,  ETC. 

Analyses  of  eleven  samples  of  sheep  manure,  etc.,  are  given  in 
Table  XVIII.  All  were  sampled  by  the  Station  agent  except

Sample  18912  falls  below  the  guaranty  in  both  nitrogen  and 
phosphoric  acid.  The  Apothecaries  Hall  Co.  states  that  the  guar- 
antee is  the  one  given  by  the  party  from  whom  the  manure  was 
bought. 

On  receiving  our  analysis,  the  guaranty  on  the  packages  was 
changed  to  conform  to  the  analysis. 

The  ten  samples  vary  greatly  in  their  composition.  The  aver- 
age of  the  ten  is : 

Nitrogen 1.93% 

Phosphoric  acid i.S4% 

Water-soluble  potash    2.80% 

Cost  per  ton  $45-96

18522,  sent  by  E.  Barnwater,  Stratford,  was  stated  to  have 
been  bought  for  sheep  manure.    It  contained : 

Nitrogen     2.80% 

Phosphoric  acid 0.73% 

Potash     1.50% 

Insoluble    matter    11.00%

TOBACCO  STEMS. 

No.  18900,  sent  by  J.  E.  Luddy,  Windsor,  was  a  sample 
offered  by  the  Imperial  Tobacco  Co.,  Montreal.  It  contained  1.17 
per  cent  of  nitrogen  and  2.57  per  cent  of  potash.  It  is  therefore 
of  very  inferior  quality. 

REFUSE  GLUE. 

18751,  from  J.  H.  Stannard,  Ivoryton,  contained  12.04  P^^" 
cent  nitrogen  and  0.15  phosphoric  acid.

TOBACCO  FERTILIZER. 

19489  was  a  tobacco  fertilizer  salvaged  from  a  burned  to- 
bacco barn.     Sent  by  Foran  Bros.,  East  Hartford. 

It  contained  3.73  per  cent  nitrogen,  8.05  of  available  phosphoric 
acid  and  5.96  of  potash  and  was  not  very  seriously  damaged. 


PEAT  OR  MUCK. 

Four  samples  have  been  examined : 

17876  from  C.  L.  Bill,  1184  Main  St.,  Bridgeport. 

18290   from  M.  H.  Nolan,  Stratford. 

18881   from  D.  J.  Smith,  Southington. 

19406   from  Richard  Starr,  Darien. 


VARIOUS  WASTE  PRODUCTS.  143;, 

These  analyses  are  here  given  on  a  water-free  basis : 

Per   cent   of  Organic  Matter.  Mineral  Matter.  Nitrogen.. 

17876 28.66  71-34  0.95,

19406    69.91  20.09  1-30 

The  first  two  in  the  table  are  of  very  moderate  value  because 
sand  and  earth  make  nearly  three-quarters  of  their  weight.  The 
others  in  their  dry  or  partially  dry  state  would  be  excellent  ab- 
sorbents of  liquid  manure  or  would  be  suitable  for  composing  with 
stable  manure. 

The  amount  of  nitrogen  in  18881  is  exceptionally  large. 

LIME  AND  LIMESTONE. 

A  number  of  samples  of  these  materials  have  been  analyzed 
and  will  be  printed  in  another  bulletin  including  analyses  not  yet 
completed. 

SOILS. 

The  tests  of  acidity  made  in  samples  of  soil  are  of  no  general" 
value  and  are  therefore  not  reported  here.

POTASH-MARL. 

This  material  is  sold  by  Potash-Marl,  Inc.,  15  East  40th  St., 
New  York  City,  and  is  a  prepared  green  sand  marl  which  occurs  in 
New  Jersey,  and  has  been  used  locally  as  a  fertilizer  where  it 
could  be  obtained  abundantly  and  cheaply. 

It  contains  considerable  potash,  sometimes  6  per  cent  or  more, 
which  is  not,  however,  water-soluble.  The  Company  only  guar- 
antees the  amount  of  phosphoric  acid. 

Four  samples  have  been  examined  as  follows : 

No.  19407,  from  stock  of  Silliman  Hardware  Co.,  New  Can- 
aan, Conn. 

No.  19726,  stock  of  Lightbourn  &  Pond,  New  Haven,  Conn. 

Both  the  above  were  sent  by  the  Station  agent. 

No.  I  and  No.  2  were  sent  by  the  Potash-Marl  Co.
